The following are additional limitations for supported character sets and language versions:

Configuration Manager does not support changing the locale of the site server computer.

An enterprise certification authority (CA) does not support client computer names that use double-byte character sets (DBCS). The client computer names that you can use are restricted by the PKI limitation of the IA5 character set. In addition, Configuration Manager does not support CA names or subject name values that use DBCS.

The Configuration Manager database supports Unicode for most objects that it stores, and when possible, it displays this information in the operating system language that matches the locale of a computer. For the client interface or Configuration Manager console to display information in the computer’s operating system language, the computer’s locale must match a client or server language that you install at a site.

However, several Configuration Manager objects do not support Unicode, and they are stored in the database by using ASCII, or they have additional language limitations. This information is always displayed by using the ASCII character set or in the language that was in use when the object was created.
